The husband was taken to a hospital where he was in stable condition, as of Tuesday.

Chippewa Falls Police Captain John Liddell told The Huffington Post that the election was just fodder for a familial dispute.

"We've seen things like this before, but not over elections," Liddell told HuffPost. "This is more of a domestic situation within the family and the election just happened to be the topic at the time."

Liddell said the case has been referred to the district attorney, who will decide whether any charges should be filed on possible counts of domestic violence.
